[BUG] revCopyFile

When using revCopyFile on OS X I keep getting the result: execution error The good news is that there is NO error, the file is copying just nicely and arrives intact. The bad news is obviously I can't programmatically check that the Copy was successful. The cause seems to be the length of the cop

Re: LiveNode Server

I'm not using LC server side much so I can't say for sure there in reference to this thread and the things we've been discussing. I think the direction livecode is going and the state that it is/was (I still use 5.5 for a lot of things) in to be great. If we can get as many of the blocking bits do

Sorry to be OT as far as this list is concerned, but for some reason my On-Rev forum membership not yet been activated, and On-Rev support, while being very kind and patient with me in the replies I’ve had, doesn’t seem to have much time to answer my queries. I suppose the wonderful interactivit

Re: Current Player Bugs in LC 7

Hi Peter. I know quite a few of us are anxious to see a break in the log jam regarding the multimedia player. My takeaway from the webinar last month was that many issues would clear up when the LC8 multimedia player widget rolls out. It will replace obsolete code -- no doubt the source of many b

Thanks Richard. I should have mentioned that I'm seeing this in LC 6.6.5 - wasn't the change to Cocoa in 6.7? The Finder example I gave was in OSX 10.10 Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser and SQLiteAdmin

Palette Decorations

I am under the impression that a palette stack on OSX should only have a close button as a decoration and should not be resizable. For example, if I bring up the Finder View Options window for a folder, that's the way it displays. However, if I set the style of an LC stack to palette, or open it

Re: Repeat syntax addition

I'm really liking this feature. I just used it in a series of nested repeat statements that traverse their way through an array with 5 levels of keys by writing a function for each level of key. Makes the code so much more readable. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrows

Re: Refining a Font Menu

AFAIK, you can only grab a list of available fonts. Regarding jumping to the first typed letter and automatic scrolling, I believe you want to set the menuHistory property. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media UX/UI Design > On Apr 7, 2015, at 9:12 AM, tbodine wrote: > > Hi A

Refining a Font Menu

Hi All. I have a font menu built with a pull-down type button that works fine, but the number of system fonts makes finding one a chore for the user. I have three refinements in mind, but I'm not sure if they are possible. 1) Is it possible to get a fonts list from the system (or parse one) that

Re: Repeat syntax addition

(Going back to HyperCard?) the concepts used to be containers and "sources of value" - where the latter can be a literal, a function call, an expression... I always thought that containers were a subset of sources of value, defined as the items where you could set the value as well as get it; b

Thanks Paul, I like your thinking. Unfortunately that isn't going to work in this case.

[BUG] revDeleteFolder

The Dictionary says: On Mac OS and OS X Systems, the revDeleteFolder command places the folder in the Trash. I'm not seeing that. PPC 10.5.8 LC 6.6.5 - it's gone, the Trash is empty. Intel 10.9.5 LC 7.0.4 rc3 - as above The Dictionary says that revDeleteFolder hasn't changed since version 1.1.1,
